Ron Paul wants to end Federal Student Loans
If Ron Paul had his way Federal Student Loans would be phased out shortly after he takes office. Paul seems to be out of touch and thinks that everyone has the resources that he had at his disposal to be successful. Let us not forget all Americans do not have the access to the people, and places to assist them in ways that they can eventually help themselves.

What are Direct Student Loans? Direct Student Loans are funds made available to students and parents to help pay for college. Direct student loans are low-interest loans, and while the lender is the U.S. Department of Education, individuals may work with a private business who releases the funds or directly with the federal government. Direct student loans include subsidized, unsubsidized, and parent-only loans. These loans are simple to apply for, and unlike other forms of financial aid, are not based on financial need. These funds must be paid back after graduation; however, there are payment programs, opportunities to consolidate multiple loans, and loan forgiveness programs for qualifying individuals.

Mass transit commuters' tax breaks falling
chicagotribune.comThe amount of income that commuters who use mass transit will be eligible to shelter from taxes to pay their fares drops on Jan. 1 to $125 a month from the current $230 a month, while the tax-free parking benefit for drivers will increase from $230 to $240 a month, officials said Thursday.
The steep reduction in the transit provision is due to Congress’ failure to renew the higher limit in the Commuter Benefits Equity Act, officials said, adding that they are hopeful lawmakers will approve a higher limit sometime in 2012.
Regional Transportation Authority Executive Director Joseph Costello called the pending cut in pre-tax transit benefit dollars “a clear inequity that is not good for our cities.”
The cut in benefits will have a similar effect as a fare increase because riders whose employers participate in the transit benefits program will only be able to shield a maximum of $1,500 in income from taxes in 2012, down from $2,760 this year.
